Excavated and based.
What happens here
The video starts by showcasing a newly constructed house with excavated trenches, noting the ground's softness due to recent rain. The narrator explains that the patio/walkway area required 'extra, extra deep' excavation to reach 'virgin soil,' a crucial step for new construction sites where disturbed soil is common. This deep excavation ensures a stable and undisturbed subgrade for the base, preventing future settling issues.
Goal: Establish a stable, undisturbed subgrade
